144
00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:10,040
to uh your leadership and uh your
legislative body um this is an era where

145
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:14,079
um quite honestly you don't see this
type of support in law enforcement um

146
00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:19,519
but the the support from your
legislative body and yourself has

147
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:24,120
allowed us to um police this community
and make this community one of the

148
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:29,399
safest communities in Illinois um so
with that being said um under your

00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:34,720
leadership um and your support uh we
were able to implement the uh Deca

150
00:13:31,839 --> 00:13:39,440
program in our uh Records Division this
has allowed us to uh streamline and

151
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:43,760
speed up the uh process with our tickets
um we have increased our Police

152
00:13:41,079 --> 00:13:49,000
Department by 36% so there's more
officers on the streets um more

153
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:51,720
